1) Last Pass Password Manager
Nowadays every person needs to use so many different websites, portals, emails, social media, bank accounts, government services online that passwords have taken on extra importance. Unscrupulous elements are out there trying to crack your password for their criminal enterprises. Once your identity has been stolen, the repercussions of a weak password, or having the same password across all your websites and social media, is colossal.
Another issue is that, especially for work-related systems, you are forced to set a new password every 3 months or so. You can’t set your old password again either. That means you must come up with a new password each time and remember it.
Last Pass Password Manager is an app that protects all of your login details, both from criminals and from being forgotten. It is an app that generates strong passwords for your services and then saves them in a secure database. You just have to remember one master password (make it long to keep it strong). Another option to access your passwords database is through fingerprint sensor on your phone.
You also have the option to enable 2-Factor Authentication, which is a layer of security which confirms it’s really you signing in. The app uses bank-level, AES 256-bit encryption to keep your data so safe that even the app’s developers can’t read your master password.
If you work a lot on your PC, there is a browser extension to make your Last Pass Password Manager access quicker.
Never click the “forgot password” button on any website again with this app. To add yet another layer of security, remember that your internet connection should come with anti-virus, anti-spyware services. You can order such secure internet connections furnished by the most popular US ISPs through BuyTVInternetPhone.
2) MyFitnessPal
Fitness is one of the primary concerns for most of us. Those who start taking care of their bodies in their twenties are more likely to appear younger a couple of decades later, and of course, live longer! Managing weight, meeting cardio goals, and nutrition objectives are tasks made easier when they’re documented.
One of the best fitness applications is MyFitnessPal. At its core, it is a calorie counter. Here’s how it works:
- Create a profile indicating your age, gender, current weight, and target weight
- Eat a meal, and drink your beverages
- Search for the food and drinks in the MyFitnessPal database, indicate the amounts (mass) consumed, add any other details like breakfast/lunch/dinner/snack. The app has calorie counts for various foods built-in, verified by nutritionists. It just adjusts the calories credited to you based on the amount you consumed at that meal.
- The app then creates a daily/weekly/monthly graph showing you if you’re staying under (for weight loss) or meeting a certain daily calorie count aimed at maintaining or gaining weight. The app will, of course, tell you how many calories you should consume per day based on your personal profile and fitness goals.
- You regularly weigh yourself on a scale and update your weight in the app, which creates a line graph over time. Seeing it trend upwards or downwards is super motivating.
You might be thinking the app won’t have the dishes that are a part of your staple diet. Well, you’d be wrong. Millions of dishes from all cultures of the world are included in it (try variations of spellings if you don’t find the food immediately). You’d be amazed how much easier it is to lose, gain or maintain weight when you diligently enter your food and beverage consumption into this app, and the visual data presentation shows you whether you’re on track.
Besides this, the app has healthy recipe recommendations, a support community where you can discuss health and food topics with other users, and you can also add your friends to support them on their journey. Oh, and you can also indicate if you’re following a particular diet like Atkins, the South Beach Diet, the Zone or any other.
